title: [Voice and speech rehabilitation in relation to pharynx suture techniques after laryngectomy].
abstract: An analysis of voice rehabilitation was made among 111 patients with cancer who had undergone total laryngectomy. Patients were divided in two/groups: first--67 subjects whose pharynx wound was sutured with purse-string suture and second--41 subjects whose pharynx wound was closed with single sutures. In both groups functional status of the upper esophageal sphincter was compared by means of pressure measurement by Seemman's method. The shape of lower pharynx and the level of development of pseudoglottis were estimated by means of radiological methods and the computer model of vocal tract.
